I love the colors, however I think that a shallower DOF might be better as the bridge keeps catching my eye
Lovely colours and good composition. I don’t like the white area (sky) on the top part. You maybe can change the colour of it or crop it.
Now that’s my kind of subject… look at those colours!
The contrast between the moss, bark and fallen leaves here is fantastic. Unfortunately, I think that there’s just a bit too much going on in the background, and I find myself wanting to see more of the log at the front, so a shallower DoF and a viewpoint looking a bit more downwards would have been great. I also love the look of the fungi on the side of the tree, that could be a whole picture in itself – but i won’t impose my love of macro on your picture ;)
Anyway, since you have a wee message in your sig I had a quick bash at trying to isolate the foreground a bit more. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a standard crop that worked so I just stretched a square slightly, it might work well as 8×10 though. Please ignore the nastiness of the fake DoF and take it as a suggestion only!
Please tell me you took loads more of this scene, including more of those leaves…?
Yeh, I agree with the comments above.
Definitely get rid of the sky peeping through.
I’ve no problem with the crop that Elven has suggested, but if you want to leave in the background trees I’d straighten your pic and then crop it.
Here is my offering:Steve where abouts did you take these pictures. Amazing how many variations there can be of 1 picture and how many people can view it differently.
Me I am a coward and stand back and admire.
SodaI agree with all of the above, the colours are stunning, beautiful autumnal scene. I prefer the shot with a stronger DoF, but either way it is beautiful, nicely composed. Great work
Thanks all! I am looking forward to taking this shot again with a shallower DoF.

SodaTaken in Crawfordsburn! It’s amazing what you can find to photograph at that place! Well worth a trip!
